How can I fix this without opening the MacBook ? Maybe super glue or something ?

Thank you
 
just set up an appointment with the genius bar at the nearest apple store. they will replace it for free. regardless of warranty status
 
This is a recurring problem with the Non-Unibody MacBooks, and Apple covers this even if you MacBook is out of warranty. The same thing happened to mine about 2 months ago, and I only had to pay labor costs. I live about 2 hours from an Apple Store so I had to take mine to an Apple Service Provider, they covered the part and I just paid for labor. I'm not for sure if Apple Store's charge for labor but I know Service Providers do.

If you're like me and don't live close to an Apple Store and don't know where a Service Provider might be, here is a link to find one.

I work 5 minutes walk from one.How long does it take to fix it ? Average ?

Thank you
 
I've almost always had shorter turnaround time on repairs by sending the machine in, even counting shipping time in both directions; my last three Apple notebook repairs each took 3 days.

I don't think I've ever had a repair done at an Apple Store that was ready in 3 days.
 
I would rather take it to a store that they can fix on the spot.

Thank you
